HYPERBOREA / AS&SH GM/Referee Screen

**Posted by WebwayDrifter** 8/03/2014 7:21 pm

I mean...we all need one of these right? I looked around a bit but could not find where anyone put one of these together earlier. After my first game, I'm glad I took the time to put it together. I have it organized (from left to right), with ability score tables and miscellaneous information, general savings throws, etc. on the left panel. The middle two panels are basically combat related, how to start combat, combat matrix, typical modifiers, weapon damage removing the unrelated information from those tables, etc. The last panel is dealing with reactions, hirelings, morale, and item savings throws (boy is that table fun to use).

I loved grabbing some of the great artwork from the books to sneak into the 'dead space' on these screens to liven them up a little.

I have also created pdf/images with crop marks for easy printing/cutting, so that the entire thing, if printed and cut to size, will still fit in the red box everything comes in. I printed these on 'label' paper (so I didn't have to glue or tape), and put them onto two manila folders.

I'm not sure if anyone has formatted these yet, but I think the organization and the tables actually used, fit pretty well and flow during the game nicely. The ability score text was reduced in size slightly for fitting them all on the page, but other than that, the text is mostly the same size as in the main books.

The hardest part of these was the cover art...too many great illustrations to want to include from what's been created so far. I did use the logos, only because they are very cool and felt that the screens should showcase the game if I ever take it to a store (but realistically I will only probably ever run a game in my home). Of course, this is in no way actually endorsed by Northwind Adventures, etc. and I can take no credit for any of the artwork...just time to organize them all into a usable fashion. Thanks to the creators for all of their great content!

Enjoy

Nice! I'm starting a game in a couple of weeks and had already been thinking about which tables to extract for easy reference, so this is perfect. Thanks a ton!

That's great. I've been slowly cutting and snipping stuff from the pdfs to make my own (landscape) screen. This give me some good ideas about organization and layout.

Nice work! Someone did do one earlier, sans art, so I did what you did: supplemented my own screen with art from the PDF. It oozes AS&SH vibes...

You here that thud?

That was my jaw hitting the floor.

Excellent work, and thanks for sharing it.

Oh my! Very nice work WD . . . Been meaning to throw something together myself, I can certainly refrain from that now. Kudos! And Thanks!

Fabulous! I'll definitely put this to you, and had missed it the first time around!

Good luck and let us know how it goes! You should start a campaign journal thread. Love to know who's playing what, what adventure you run and how it all shakes out.

**Posted by Mortificateur** 7/20/2015 1:01 pm

That's my goal. I love reading campaign journal from you guys too.

Yes, please share the exploits of your poor suckers - *cough* I mean "players".
This screen looks fantastic. I made myself a pretty nice one a couple years ago (if I do say so myself), but then I discovered I could easily run the game off the top of my head. So I never actually used it!

Welcome Brule! Nice avatar.

Welcome, Brule. One of my favorite characters, too. The Shadow Kingdom is an all-time favorite of mine. Love Kull and Brule, and the portrayal of the serpent men in that yarn has been a major inspiration to me for a long time.
